Paramedic: Practice Development

We provide a stimulating and challenging academic and scholarly environment for you to advance your academic and professional development beyond undergraduate level. We will enable you to develop a mastery of complex and specialised knowledge and a critical awareness of issues at the forefront of paramedic practice. You will develop conceptual knowledge and advanced understanding of how techniques of enquiry enable the critical and objective analysis, interpretation and application of research and evidence within pre-hospital and emergency care.
